Tricky's  show on 03/02/13 was dedicated to Paul Simon (Graceland was released the same week in 1987) and as always it went down a storm. Loads of nudisco, funk, brokenbeat mixed up with Indie and lots more. Hiphop was even mixed into INXS (yes, the 80s rock band) and as always a classic retro Indie tune made an appearance.  Not enough??!
